System Clock
============
The M4 Core is configured to run at a 200 MHz clock speed.
Serial Port
===========
The iMX7S SoC has seven UARTs. The number 2 is configured for the console and
the number 6 is used in the mikroBUS connector.
Programming and Debugging
*************************
The WaRP7 doesn't have QSPI flash for the M4 and it needs to be started by
the A7 core. The A7 core is responsible to load the M4 binary application into
the RAM, put the M4 in reset, set the M4 Program Counter and Stack Pointer, and
get the M4 out of reset.
The A7 can perform these steps at bootloader level or after the Linux system
has booted.
The M4 can use up to 5 different RAMs. These are the memory mapping for A7 and
M4:
+------------+-----------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+----------------------+
| Region | Cortex-A7 | Cortex-M4 (System Bus) | Cortex-M4 (Code Bus) | Size |
+============+=======================+========================+=======================+======================+
| DDR | 0x80000000-0xFFFFFFFF | 0x80000000-0xDFFFFFFF | 0x10000000-0x1FFEFFFF | 2048MB (less for M4) |
+------------+-----------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+----------------------+
| OCRAM | 0x00900000-0x0091FFFF | 0x20200000-0x2021FFFF | 0x00900000-0x0091FFFF | 128KB |
+------------+-----------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+----------------------+
| TCMU | 0x00800000-0x00807FFF | 0x20000000-0x20007FFF | | 32KB |
+------------+-----------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+----------------------+
| TCML | 0x007F8000-0x007FFFFF | | 0x1FFF8000-0x1FFFFFFF | 32KB |
+------------+-----------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+----------------------+
| OCRAM_S | 0x00180000-0x00187FFF | 0x20180000-0x20187FFF | 0x00000000-0x00007FFF | 32KB |
+------------+-----------------------+------------------------+-----------------------+----------------------+
| QSPI Flash | | | 0x08000000-0x0BFFFFFF | 64MB |

At compilation time you have to choose which RAM will be used. This
configuration is done in the file :zephyr_file:`boards/element14/warp7/warp7_mcimx7d_m4.dts` with
"zephyr,flash" (when CONFIG_XIP=y) and "zephyr,sram" properties. The available
configurations are:
.. code-block:: none
"zephyr,flash"
- &ddr_code
- &tcml_code
- &ocram_code
- &ocram_s_code
- &ocram_pxp_code
- &ocram_epdc_code
"zephyr,sram"
- &ddr_sys
- &tcmu_sys
- &ocram_sys
- &ocram_s_sys
- &ocram_pxp_sys
- &ocram_epdc_sys
Below you will find the instructions to load and run Zephyr on M4 from A7 using
u-boot.
Connect both micro USB interfaces into the PC. In one USB interface you will
have 2 USB serial ports, the first one is the A7 console and the second is the
M4 console for Zephyr with both configured to work at 115200 8N1.
The other USB interface is used to power the CPU and IO boards and is connected
to the USB OTG interface of the i.MX7S.
After powering up the platform stop the u-boot execution on the A7 core and
expose the eMMC as mass storage with the following command in the u-boot
prompt: ``ums 0 mmc 0``. Copy the compiled zephyr.bin to the first FAT
partition and remove the mounted device on the PC by issuing a "Ctrl+C" in the
u-boot prompt.
Set the u-boot environment variables and run the zephyr.bin from the
appropriated memory configured in the Zephyr compilation:
.. code-block:: console
setenv bootm4 'fatload mmc 0:1 $m4addr $m4fw && dcache flush && bootaux $m4addr'
# TCML
setenv m4tcml 'setenv m4fw zephyr.bin; setenv m4addr 0x007F8000'
setenv bootm4tcml 'run m4tcml && run bootm4'
run bootm4tcml
# TCMU
setenv m4tcmu 'setenv m4fw zephyr.bin; setenv m4addr 0x00800000'
setenv bootm4tcmu 'run m4tcmu && run bootm4'
run bootm4tcmu
# OCRAM
setenv m4ocram 'setenv m4fw zephyr.bin; setenv m4addr 0x00900000'
setenv bootm4ocram 'run m4ocram && run bootm4'
run bootm4ocram
# OCRAM_S
setenv m4ocrams 'setenv m4fw zephyr.bin; setenv m4addr 0x00180000'
setenv bootm4ocrams 'run m4ocrams && run bootm4'
run bootm4ocrams
# DDR
setenv m4ddr 'setenv m4fw zephyr.bin; setenv m4addr 0x80000000'
setenv bootm4ddr 'run m4ddr && run bootm4'
run bootm4ddr
Debugging
=========
Download and install `J-Link Tools`_ and `NXP iMX7D Connect CortexM4.JLinkScript`_.
To run Zephyr Binary using J-Link, create the following script to get the
Program Counter and Stack Pointer from ``zephyr.bin``.
get-pc-sp.sh:
.. code-block:: console
#!/bin/sh
firmware=$1
pc=$(od -An -N 8 -t x4 $firmware | awk '{print $2;}')
sp=$(od -An -N 8 -t x4 $firmware | awk '{print $1;}')
echo pc=$pc
echo sp=$sp
Get the SP and PC from firmware binary: ``./get-pc-sp.sh zephyr.bin``
.. code-block:: console
pc=00900f01
sp=00905020
Plug in the J-Link into the board and PC and run the J-Link command line tool:
.. code-block:: console
/usr/bin/JLinkExe -device Cortex-M4 -if JTAG \
-speed 4000 -autoconnect 1 -jtagconf -1,-1 \
-jlinkscriptfile iMX7D_Connect_CortexM4.JLinkScript
The following steps are necessary to run the zephyr.bin:
1. Put the M4 core in reset
2. Load the binary in the appropriate addr (TMCL, TCMU, OCRAM, OCRAM_S or DDR)
3. Set PC (Program Counter)
4. Set SP (Stack Pointer)
5. Get the M4 core out of reset
Issue the following commands inside J-Link commander:
.. code-block:: console
w4 0x3039000C 0xAC
loadfile zephyr.bin,0x00900000
w4 0x00180000 00900f01
w4 0x00180004 00905020
w4 0x3039000C 0xAA
With these mechanisms, applications for the ``warp7`` board
configuration can be built and debugged in the usual way (see
:ref:`build_an_application` and :ref:`application_run` for more details).
